Life is always intimately bound up with structure and with the
continuous transformation which structures undergo. Modern science
and technology have now made it possible to display these
structures before our eyes, right up to the frontiers of molecular
dimensions. When several years ago Dr. HANS LUDWIG, while working
at the First Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the
University at Munich, demonstrated to us some micrographs showing
the human oviduct's surface pattern, my immediate reaction was:
This is the environment that encom- passes the very onset of an
individual human life. In fact, scanning electron microscopy,
superimposed upon classical micro- morphology, has enabled us to
get insight into the landscape of living structures, their
intricate organization and their delicate beauty as well. At the
same time this technique opens up an entirely new perspective in
our three-dimensional view and comprehension of biological events.
This becomes especially evident in the realm of reproductive
processes within the human female reproductive tract. In this
volume the authors give - for the first time systematically - a
description of the surface patterns of the inside of the human
vagina, ecto- and endocervix, and the human uterus and oviduct;
they depict ovulatory alterations of the ovarian surface and
surface changes under various endo- crine conditions, as well as in
relation to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, fetal growth, and the
menopausal cessation of ovarian functional activity. of the
placental intervillum, the In addition they describe surface
structures basal plate and the amnion.
